What children learn in Level 59
- One text rarely tells everything. Researchers read several texts about the same topic and combine what they learn.
- Here are three short texts about Georgia's Okefenokee Swamp.
- Sort the facts under key points. Alligators and black bears go under animals. Cypress trees and tea-colored water go under plants and water. The refuge in 1937 goes under people and history.
- Some questions need more than one text. Where do turtles rest, and why is the water dark? Text 1 tells about turtles, and Text 2 tells about the water.
